What a fascinating structure and story behind. Had the first tour of the day with Alex who did an amazing job and was so welcoming and had such a high energy level.
Great tour guides! Attentive to details. Enjoyed learning about the Opera House.Recommend to take the tour!
Wasn't sure about this at first but I was really glad I did this tour. I learned so much about the opera house and got to see each of the theaters. Lots of walking and steps though, so be prepared. Well worth it!

Jason tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable. Enjoyed the tour very much. Would recommend if you are visiting Sydney..
Great Experience
This tour was very interesting, and the concert halls themselves were fantastic and so beautiful! I had no idea how big the Opera House actually is, from the outside it seems smaller. I loved learning about the history of the Opera House and the techniques used in building it, our guide was very informative. A must do, especially considering that the Opera House is pretty much Sydney's icon.
Awesome !!!
The Sydney Opera House is a must see! TV and photos don't do it justice. It's an amazing structure and the history behind building it was very interesting.
